Anger and division in this final stretch to november. They dont even know who george floyd is. Acting secretary chad wolf, senator amy klobuchar, and insight and analysis from our powerhouse round table. Good morning, and welcome to this week. Every four years americans come together to make a choice.

Democrats told us if the other side wins, our democracy is over. Republicans said if the other side wins, america is over. Both suggesting an apocalypse if they dont prevail on november 3rd. In the visuals of this weeks Republican Convention, we saw the world as donald trump wants it to be. His name in fireworks over the washington skyline, the White House South Lawn transformed into a celebration of all things trump, and his supporters shoulder to shoulder as if the pandemic had never happened

address making a new plea yet again for gun action. telling congress in the wake of more mass shootings, enough is enough. more kids and on duty cops killed by guns. more kids than soldiers killed by guns. for god s sake, how much more carnage are we willing to accept? how many more innocent american lives must be taken before we say enough? enough. this time we have to take the time to do something. this time, it is time for the senate to do something. among the president s demands to congress, either ban assault weapons or raise the minimum purchase age to 21 years old. fact is, many of these proposals have no realistic chance of passage. there is little to no gop support for them. that s exactly right. even after what happened this week, and last. the president s speech comes as democrats on a house committee did pass a string of proposals and got in a fiery debate with a republican colleague, small bipartisan group of senators is still working behind the scenes, but
